Bedrock Aquifer Productivity Scotland version 2
The Bedrock Aquifer Productivity Scotland dataset forms part of the BGS Hydrogeological Maps of Scotland data product. This product is comprised of three datasets: Bedrock Aquifer Productivity Scotland; Superficial Aquifer Productivity Scotland; and Groundwater Vulnerability Scotland. Aquifer productivity is a measure of the potential of aquifers to sustain a borehole water supply. The Bedrock Aquifer Productivity Scotland dataset version 2 (2015) indicates the location and productivity of bedrock aquifers across Scotland, and their groundwater flow characteristics. Developed as a tool to support groundwater resource management, the dataset provides a guide to aquifer characteristics at a regional scale, and may be useful to anyone interested in learning more about, assessing or managing groundwater resources across Scotland. The dataset is delivered at 1: 100 000 scale; the resolution of the dataset being 50 m and the smallest detectable feature 100 m.

The aquifer productivity data was developed in ArcGIS using BGS digital geology linework at a scale of 1:50,000: DiGMapGB-50, Version 5.18. Each of the geological formations in the 1:50,000 scale DiGMap bedrock geology was classified according to two criteria: (1) the predominant groundwater flow type (2) the estimated aquifer productivity of the formation. Input datsets include: BGS Geology 50K (formerly known as DiGMapGB-50 (Digital Geological Map of Great Britain at 1:50 000)) (Bedrock) Version 5.18 Permeability Dataset for Great Britain (Superficial) Version 6.0 (British Geological Survey 2010)
